unusual setbacks in the neighborhood: Thefts burden the local community

While many citizens protect their property carefully, perpetrators always seem to find paths to trigger unpleasant surprises.

In the night from July 10, 2024, unknown perpetrators stole a grill from a terrace on the main street in Rhauderfehn. The grill was secured with a chain, but this did not prevent the thieves from stealing the object worth over 100 euros. The incident raises questions about the security in residential areas and the trust of the citizens in the police who asked for clues to determine the perpetrator.

The theft series continued in Westoverledingen on July 20, 2024 when a perpetrator stole a wallet from a car parked there in the cemetery parking lot of the Evangelical Reformed Church. To do this, he penetrated through a partially open window pane and snatched their property from the data subject. With the EC card of the injured party, the stranger bought a cigarette machine and thus caused further damage in the middle three-digit range.
